The festival
Every autumn, Leverkusen becomes one of the German jazz capitals. Created in 1980 for the 50th anniversary of the city, the Leverkusener Jazztage will perform their concerts between the Forum, Erholungshaus and the Leverkusen Scala Club, to the Stadthalle in Wuppertal. Marcus Miller, Till Brönner or Salif Keïta played there: the festival is one of the biggest jazz events in Germany.
